Short excerpt from a YouTube video (speaker is a plastic/aesthetic surgeon) discussing frequent performance of explant surgeries. The speaker cites patients who report problems after long-term implants and references Dr. Rob’s podcast, expressing a belief that implants may cause systemic toxicity beyond common symptoms like mastodynia.

Chapters

At the same time, I do enjoy plastics and aesthetic surgery. And interestingly, I perform a lot of explant surgery because these patients come to me saying, you know, implants for so long, and now I'm having issues. And, you know, Dr. Rob has explained all of those issues in his podcast, but it's real. I was beginning to really believe that implants has caused more than just mastodynia or breast pain. It's something inherent in the implant that causes more toxicity that can't really be explained that well in lay terms.
